Adele smiled and accepted the candy, holding it gently in her palm.

Ariana turned to Shawn, inquiring, “Where's Mr. Fredrick? Would it be possible for Adele to spend the night at my place today?"

Shawn nodded in agreement, responding, “Sure. Mr. Fredrick is currently at a charity event. He'll join you later."

Ariana nodded and began to walk, hand in hand with Adele. Yet, to her astonishment, upon turning, she encountered Sadie, clad in a hospital gown, emerging from the examination area.

At the sight of Sadie, Ariana instinctively furrowed her brows, recalling Sadie's previous outburst upon witnessing her and Adele together. She hadn't expected to meet Sadie here.
